The level of deception needed to become involved in that group is astounding.

I can see for someone who was raised in it and doesn’t know any better, but for someone to turn their backs on God and say Jesus isn’t good enough, just plain boggles the mind.

No, gorilla man, Adam and Eve are NOT real people, despite the pictures in your coloring book. Jesus is, though. Real Christians understand that.

So Jesus (whom you say is real), makes a definitive reference that there were two real persons who are the source of the human race. Yet you claim they are not real. Hmmmmm, who to believe, Jesus - God the Son, or Bucky son of ??????????. Yep, REAL Christians understand that bucky.

You’re wrong about the definition of allegory, too. Does everything have to be shoehorned into a box to keep your faith afloat?

Then perhaps you should let us know how Bucky's New International Dictionary defines "allegory", since Mr. Silverback's all line up with these 'lesser' dictionaries than yours.

BTW, on what do you base you claim of being a Christian again? Still waiting.

The Internet will ultimately doom the LDS.

I am laying odds that to survive there will be a series of “Visions” and “Revelations” that will take them away from the Smith/Young/etc. ideas and bring them at least closer in line with the True Faith. There is too much money at stake to do otherwise.

How close remains to be scene, there is a lot of history and fantasy to be dismissed first, starting with the BOM.

Then there will the whole dismissing of the ultimate god hood.

That has been a big draw for some...

Evolution and Christianity are perfectly compatible. Please—stop making Christians look stupid.

Evolution and Christianity may or may not be compatible.

However being a complete jack ass and a Christian most certainly isn't....

My explain where you have to keeping repeating "I'm a Christian" so often, otherwise who would know...

(And even that is questionable)

Just.....wow.....

One of the biggest non-answers I've ever seen.

Buck, you make yourself look really stupid when you won't answer a simple question but try to evade it and blame shift.

You won't answer because you can't answer. No matter what answer you give, you're going to be trapped and you at least have the minimal brain activity to realize that.

Avoiding the answer and attacking Enosh is not fooling anyone into thinking that you answered it.

That’s not an answer either.

Pony up, buck.

Answer the questions like a man and stop weaseling your way out of it.

Methinks that he keeps repeating that to convince himself more than us, because we certainly don’t believe it.

No, it’s the only answer.

Where is your proof that what Jesus said was allegory to begin with? And where does the allegory stop? Rahab? Isaaic? David?

I await your massive spin cycle of circular logic. And while you are at it, what do you base you claim to being a Christian on?
